Event catering for Lymington
Event catering near Lymington
We cater weddings, parties, staff days and community events across Lymington. The menu changes with the occasion, but it is always cooked on site and served by our team. Typical bookings include crew lunches and birthdays and garden parties, serving beef brisket, salads and rotisserie chicken.
Venues in Lymington range from village-style halls and clubs to hotels and function rooms. Wherever there is room outside to cook, we can work, and we’ll check the venue is happy with an outside caterer. Our staff serve and clear, so you’re not left handing out rolls or tidying up afterwards.
Before you choose a spot
The cooking area is the main thing to plan. Check these:
- Space to serve as well as cook
- A green light from whoever owns the site
- A gazebo, marquee or room indoors as a back-up
If in doubt, send us a picture of the spot and we will advise.

The process
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover on the agreed spot. With a hog roast we start early; with a barbecue we cook as people eat. In December, sunset in Lymington is about 4:05pm, so plan lighting and somewhere warm to eat.
- Start with the occasion, the date and the venue.
- You get a menu suggestion and a price.
- We confirm the cooking spot with you or the venue.
- On the day, our chef cooks and our staff serve.
- We clear up and leave the spot tidy.
Preparing for the day
- Have a covered area for eating in case of rain
- Keep the spot clear of buildings, marquee walls and overhanging branches
- Collect dietary needs and allergies in advance

What else we do in Lymington
For event organisers in Lymington
If you’re planning an event on someone’s behalf, such as a wedding planner, an office manager or a fête committee, let us know who we will deal with on the day. We’ll keep you both updated.

Lymington questions
Can you do a hog roast at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes, though some venues in protected landscapes have extra rules for caterers; ask your venue. We’ll work to whatever the site needs.
What’s the nearest station to Lymington?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 0.6 miles away.
How much does a hog roast cost?
Numbers, menu and travel decide the price. Tell us your date and we’ll send a price.
How far ahead should we book?
Summer Saturdays and December book up first. For other dates, a few weeks can be enough. Ask and we’ll check.
What about vegetarian guests?
Yes, with halloumi skewers and a vegan burger or sausage. Tell us numbers so there’s enough.
Do you need a kitchen at the venue?
No. All the cooking happens outside, under cover, so gardens, fields and car parks all work.
Do you provide china?
Plates are included. You can upgrade to china if you prefer.
Can we have something other than a hog roast?
We do barbecues too, and many events have both.
Looking after everyone
With a bit of planning, dietary needs are easier to handle. Here are a few tips:
- Tell us about children’s numbers
- Count anyone who doesn’t eat pork for the alternatives
- Request gluten-free rolls
- Give us numbers for the meat-free options
On the day, we arrive in good time and set up under cover, on the spot we agreed.
A hog roast can come with lamb or chicken alongside.

Pulled pork
Because it is slow-cooked, pulled pork is ready as soon as we start serving, which keeps the queue moving.
BBQ ribs
Glazed ribs turn a barbecue into a proper spread, alongside the other meats.
